http://www.osnews.com/thread?47163I was always a Gnome guy myself, but recently I've been very excited to see what the KDE devs are up to with Plasma.

But now with Benoit onboard at Trolltech, I'm really really excited.Tue, 18 Oct 2005 20:19:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (unkn0wn)CommentsWowhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?47174
http://www.osnews.com/thread?47174Benoit Schillings. Goodness. I actually remember his name from many years ago.

Trolltech look as if they are really pulling out some stops and at least have some vision for where they want to head. Good for them.Tue, 18 Oct 2005 20:47:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (segedunum)CommentsRE: BeOS is not dead.http://www.osnews.com/thread?47222

It's very likely that Benoit Schillings will bring over a lot of his way of doing things, etc. into everything he touches. Now, whether or not that's a "Good Thing (TM)" will be determined by history.

There are some neat things done in the BeOS app_server, but there are also some rather curious WTF's in there as well. Hopefully, the good will be reused in the future in code and design, and the WTF's will be remembered and carefully avoided.Tue, 18 Oct 2005 23:02:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous)CommentsBenoit left OpenWave?http://www.osnews.com/thread?47388

http://www.osnews.com/thread?47821I found this post very stupid!

Trolltech now can have a better future because it have another good developer (dot).

About the Be Inc. market failure, there are many reasons, Microsoft, the focus-shift, the sales man, etc. but not the Be Staff for technical knowledge.

Maybe with another CEO, like the CEO of yellowTAB, not only the BeOS can have a future, but also Be Inc..Wed, 19 Oct 2005 15:45:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous)CommentsRE[2]: The Trolltech IPO is coming up soonhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?47859

With all the "attention" the guy at Yt is calling , this can change to RESOLVED

Be Status: Input Acknowledged
BeOS Version: R3.2
Component: unknown

Full Description:

The BeOS needs a megalomaniacal egomaniac sitting on its throne to give it a human character which everyone loves to hate. Without this, the BeOS will languish in the impersonifiable realm of OSs that people can never quite get a handle on. You can judge the success of an OS not by the quality of its features, but by how infamous and disliked the leaders behind them are.

I believe this is a side-effect of developer comraderie under miserable conditions. After all, misery loves company. I believe that making the BeOS less conceptually accessible and far less reliable will require developers to band together, thus developing the kind of community where strangers talk to one-another, kind of like at a grocery store before a huge snowstorm.

Following this same program, it will likely be necessary to move the BeOS headquarters to a far-less-comfortable climate. General environmental discomfort will breed this attitude within and there truly is no greater recipe for success. I would suggest Seattle, but I think it's already taken. You might try Washington, DC, but definitely not somewhere like San Diego or Tucson.
